Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh

Windows - 1997
Also available on: Mac

How to Play

Windows

The game installer works only on 16-bit/32-bit systems, so the game cannot be installed on 64-bit systems.

If you want to play the game on Windows 64-bit, do the next:

  1. Download Rip-version and extract the archive. The Rip is the English version of the game pre-installed in minimal configuration, it includes patch
  2. Mount ISO image of English version in virtual drive. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite
  3. After that go to the folder with Rip-version and launch the game from Egypte.exe, run it in compatibility mode with Windows 98. ISO image of the game must be mounted in virtual drive all the time when you play

That method works only with English CD version of the game, since the Rip was created from that version. Use Virtual Machine with 32-bit Windows to install other versions

If that method didn't work - run the game on Virtual Machine with Windows XP 32-bit, that way the game works for 100%

How to play Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh Windows.
I have just tweeked the description.

The game installer works only on 16-bit/32-bit systems, so the game cannot be installed on 64-bit systems.

If you want to play the game on Windows 64-bit, do the next:

1. Download the iso English version English version 457 MB
2. Download Rip-version and extract the archive. The Rip is the English version of the game pre-installed in minimal configuration, it includes patch
3. Mount ISO image of English version in virtual drive. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite.
I have bought Daemon Tools Lite for just € 4,00. I have Acohol 52%, but it gives to much false positives on virus when you installed it.

4. After that go to the folder with Rip-version and launch the game from Egypte.exe, run it in compatibility mode with Windows 98. ISO image of the game must be mounted in virtual drive all the time when you play.

It works fine for me on a Widows 8.1 PC 64-Bit.

OK, as stated in my previous comment the problem is resolved applying the patch.

But, how can I play the multilanguage version? When prompted to choose the language it does nothing at all and running the setup directly it goves back error.

01. Download 2001 DVD release Multi-language
02. Make a FULL install
03. Copy the content of DATA folder from ISO/img into the game directory
04. Now change the saved path in CDROM.INI to your installation directory
05. Now you need to change the registry entry of the game to get rid of the CD/DVD load
Windows Registry:
(Create a TXT file, copy & paste the lines, save as Egypt_Install.reg, execute)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Cryo\EgyptDVD\1.0]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Cryo\EgyptDVD_DE\1.0]
"Path"="C:\\EGYPT"
"CDRom"="C:\\EGYPT\\"

ATTENTION!!!
-It is absolute necessary to remove the DATA word from any file & location.
(Originally the "CDRom" entry in the registry is filled with "C:\\DATA\\")
-You can name the game folder to any name you want, but don't forget to change that in CDROM.INI and registry as well

So now the game should start without a loaded ISO/Img
